How can someone look at Donald Trump and not see a mobster?

What do Evangelicals see when they look at him? What do they hear when he talks?

What does someone think when they read about his past?

A popular saying in the last election cycle was that "when someone tells you who they are, believe them"..

judges who will help them get the radical right wing agenda passed. They hold their noses to help get the things they want.

His criminal schemes, frauds, scams, money laundering have been his story for ages. He surrounds himself with criminals, goombahs.

permission.

That is what this is about, that and racism.

Dead women in back alleys, they wont be satisfied until they can read story after story on their fucking facebook about dead women who disobeyed and had sex without permission.

of certain Americans who don't fit with their "God Made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" narrative.

They want everyone back into the closet to live a life of oppression and the resulting unhappiness because.... Jesus.

about the same thing. I have finally accepted the fact that there are a lot of folks that simply reflect the same values of Trump. Especially those that isolate themselves by religious doctrine, race, and economic status. As bizarre as it seems these days these types of divides have been around for centuries, if not forever.

The efforts to reign in these beliefs are a worthwhile effort and without HOPE what else is there?

Peace and Love!
